Glasshouses is part of the Yorkshire Dales, a region of majestic, sweeping moorland and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has its own beautiful features, such as Glasshouses Dam, which was created along the River Nidd to supply water for the mill and is a tranquil habitat for an abundance of natural wildlife such as birds and otters. A footpath runs alongside the dam and much of the river bank, ideal for leisurely walks. Glasshouses is also very close to the Nidderdale Way, centred on the neighbouring town of Pateley Bridge and offering keen walkers and cyclists 53 miles of natural beauty to admire. 

The History of Glasshouses Mill

In the early 19th century, the Nidd Valley was discovered to be the ideal location for cotton and flax mills. Glasshouses Mill was built around 1812, first for producing cotton, and later flax.

The mill was run by the Metcalfe family from 1828 onwards, and was a prosperous business that employed around 250 people. The Metcalfes were said to be model employers and benefactors, and ran Glasshouses Mill until the end of the 19th century. Around this time, production switched to hemp spinning and rope making. It is said that the mill supplied rope used on the ill-fated Titanic.

Over the years, many additions were made to Glasshouses Mill, but its central range, with the iconic clock tower, is one of the oldest surviving parts. Today, the mill is a Grade II listed building and remains a magnificent structure.
